A PVC wall cladding system containing BIOCOTE silver ion antimicrobial technology is now available for installation in hospital wards from ADVANCED HYGIENIC CONTRACTING.
BioClad cladding incorporates silver ions, impregnated into the PVC panels during manufacture, forming a permanently active surface which inhibits the growth of a wide range of bacteria and moulds including MRSA, E. coli, Campylobacter and Pseudomonas by up to 99.99%. BioCote protected products have been extensively tested at the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust. The study concluded that bacterial contamination could be reduced by 95.8%, complementing hygiene practices. These products go one step further in helping NHS Trusts to provide a clean and safe environment for patient care.
